Unless someone pulls an LR and grabs Chandler to play alongside Jokic.

You’re setting yourself up man.

Mark Price

All NBA 1 in this shallow draft


I have him on four teams unfortunately - Cavs, Bullets, Warriors, Magic



I just want to thank you for saving me the embarrassment as I had Mark Price on my short list.

Good rule for all:

If a pick is THAT obvious and you’re surprised he’s fallen so far, MAYBE check that he’s actually available.

Mark Price was part of my plans as well lol. Somehow I didn't even check him, I remembered he was only in Cavs and GSW

In my memory - Price was on two team or three teams tops. I was also surprised to see that he was in fact on four teams. Sometimes I use a mixture of my memory (flawed) and actually looking stuff up - which I'm sure others may use a similar approach.

Yeah I’m not saying it’s a horrible or embarrassing thing you did. It’s also not unusual- these things happen all the time.

Just that it’s worth checking.

I was a little surprised with Penny being ineligible

PG is unusually shallow in this pool.

There were at least 10-15 players who had <100 minutes on a 4th team.

Don't know what about you guys, but I enjoy the challenge. Most chances I'd end up with a pretty standard starting five, but preparing plan A, plan B and plan C, and planning ahead is challenging in this sort of limited pool. And I like it

One of the all time best at it. Made everyone so much more efficient on his teams.
